AGNTCon + MCPCon North America 2026 is a two-day conference hosted by the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), a project under the Linux Foundation, taking place in San Jose, California, on 22-23 October 2026. The event is positioned as the flagship gathering for the open agentic-AI ecosystem, centered on interoperable AI agents and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and brings together developers, platform builders, researchers, and enterprise adopters. It is the North American anchor of AAIF's 2026 events program, which also includes a European edition, announced when the foundation launched its schedule earlier in the year. Content spans building and deploying AI agents, agent-to-tool and agent-to-agent communication, security and governance for agentic systems, and open-source projects such as MCP tooling. The program is assembled through an open call for proposals rather than a fixed vendor agenda, reflecting the foundation's community-governed structure. Its audience is primarily engineers, architects, and technical decision-makers building agent infrastructure inside product teams and enterprises. Co-locating AGNTCon with MCPCon reflects the close ties between general agent frameworks and the protocol layer they rely on.
